Hi,

In XI: It is separated in two parts

1) XI basis (Administration)

Activites are:

1) XI installation

2) Configuration activitie

3) Post installation checks

4) SLD configuration

5) Create Users,

6) Role assignments.

And many more

2) XI Implementation and development.

Under the development you have two parts Integration repository which is desing part which involves small amount of Java knowledge whenever your requirement is not fulfilled by standard SAP XI function.

and integration Configuration:

This is very simple stpes once your design is over.Based on your requirement you have to use the standard adapter provided by SAP for example if file is coming then u will go for File adapter,if IDOC is psoted to R3 then you go for IDOC adapter,communication with remote client u go for SOAP adapter.

XI Project lifecycle:

1) Blue printing phase (Design phase).

2) Build phase (Development)

3) Integration testing

4) Project go live

5) Support.

Now coming to ur question.

XI Developers role and responsibilities are:

• Analysis of the Functional Specifications which is received from Function people.

• Understanding the processes related to the third party non SAP and SAP systems.

• Raise issue log for the business requirement which is not understood from functional spec.

• Prepare Technical Specification Document,

• Do the development: now developer has to do the coding which either involved java,XSLT,abap mapping.

• Prepare the UTC

• Reviewing Interface Technical Specifications and Unit Test Document, Interface build and Unit Test, Self and peer review of the deliverables, develop Interface Object via Design and Configuration.

• Project golive and give support and do bug fixing,change request n all.

hopw u got the prefect workflow.
